From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Alfredo Morelos hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Belgrano can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom

Belgrano write off $165.6K on Leonel Cardozo

He arrived for a fee and leaves for a fraction of it. $165.6K of what Belgrano paid for Leonel Cardozo is money the club will not see again, and the boardroom will be asked about it for two seasons.

Boardroom

Still nobody in the Belgrano dugout

37 days with the chair empty, a list of names that grows and shrinks by the day, and not one signature on anything. Every week that passes takes the best candidates off it.

Match

Belgrano make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Belgrano have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Belgrano

Francisco González Metilli and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Belgrano

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Transfer targets

Osasuna tell Belgrano: Bitello is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match

Exequiel Zeballos sends Belgrano past Sarmiento

It finished 2‑0, and it was Exequiel Zeballos’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Belgrano.

Market

One of our own: Juampi joins the Belgrano first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Juampi is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief
